Sikhs and Muslims have a volatile relationship.....it is a) cultural, b) religious and c) there is a great deal of ill-will on both sides over disputed territory in North India/Pakistan.....
It is a vile and despicable thing to have happened but, taken in the historical context of hostilities between the two, it is not a 'multi-cultural' problem in the same way as the issues you have recently been highlighting.

AOG - it appears that you are stretching circumstances to fit your ethos that multi-culturalism does not work.
All it needs for this situation to take place is for one Muslim man to appear to be connected to one Sikh woman, and for one other Sikh man to act in a way which he believes reflects the tenets of his faith.
How that fits in with 'the Multi-Cultural Dream' is frankly beyond me.
If a white British man mutiltes is daughter-in-law because he believes she is having an affair with a Scotsman, does that mean that the 'Non Multi-Cultural Dream' is equally fractured?
People will always use religion as a defence for bad behaviour - that does not equate with the notion that multi-culturalism is either a 'dream', or that it is damaged by isolated incidents like this.

I think AOG's point is that when you've got different cultures that hate each other living cheek by jowl, this kind of thing will happen. I don't think it's particularly valid though. This is just a disgraceful barbaric thug who got off very lightly with a 10 year (actually 5) prison sentence, for assaulting his own daughter.
If muslims and sikhs were regularly fighting pitched battles in the streets, that might say something about multi-culturalism not working, but this doesn't.

He says "I was trying to protect her - I am a peaceful and honest man and I know I will not have the chance to apologise but I do look to the court to say how sorry I am."
From that, I suggest he is neither peaceful nor honest.
'An eye for an eye' (or two) springs to mind, but as I would be unable to carry that out myself, I would ask him to blind himself to show his remorse, or be blindfolded for the period of his sentence. He is just a monster.

That is precisely what I was trying to get across, but others don't seem to address it so, they would rather go down other alleys to try and prove that multiculturalism does in fact work.
/// If muslims and sikhs were regularly fighting pitched battles in the streets, that might say something about multi-culturalism not working, but this doesn't. ///
Will it take such an extreme situation to prove that multiculturalism does not work?
There have been other incidences such as the ongoing house burning trial which also proves my point.

//How would you solve the problem of multi-culturism //
One of the best ways to understand each other's culture is to keep on talking. our government could start by ensuring that all official business in this country is undertaken in the official language of the nation, ie English (and Welsh, west of the Severn).
permitting every minority group to use their own language (just look at the recent pictures of signs outside certain Birmingham schools) is just divisive.

The German leader has admitted it doesn't work, if only our leaders were as brave to stand up and be counted.

Comments 4 & 6 outlines perfectly why multiculturalism doesn't work especially in this country.

I would have thought that an educated person such as yourself would have been able to work that one out?
It is not just about this one particular case, this case is yet one more example among many other such cases that goes to prove my point.

Your analogy is (excuse me), just plain ridiculous.
Aren't Scotsmen also 'White British Men', and why did you choose to bring colour into it, unless you could not bring yourself to put, "What if a white English man "mutilates his daughter-in-law because he believes she is having an affair with a black Scotsman?"
